00:00What Hegsteth has said is that they are retrospective.
00:03So this is now looking back at something which occurred in March.
00:07What the administration has said is that this is, as we pointed out,
00:10it is former employees who are disgruntled,
00:12who are saying that this information was leaked in advance.
00:15There may be some truth to that.
00:18And then the question is, well, why is Donald Trump saying no?
00:20And I think his exact words are, Pete's doing a great job.
00:23You know, everybody likes Pete. There's no issue.
00:25And the reason is, I guess, that's the hill he's going to die on.
00:27This is his administration. He has appointed these people to this position.
00:30He has faith in him, in that position.
00:33And therefore, saying anything other than Pete's doing a great job
00:36is kind of admitting defeat.
00:38And if we've learned anything from this administration
00:39as we head on for almost 100 days,
00:41we've learned that defeat is not really part of the lexicon.
